Zena thought about what the boy had said for a moment. They hadn't seen a girl when they passed through here. did she leave after they had gotten there? "No these woods have been bandit free for a long time. A few camps pop up every now and then but their always gone before anyone make it here to wipe them out. And I mean gone as in their camp is destroyed and theirs no trace of them." she explained.
Realizing what she said probably wasn't the most reassuring thing to him she quickly followed up. "BUT umm if you come with me I have an acquaintance back at the city. Wolf yaju, fellow advocate. Specializes in tracking. If anyone can find your missing person he can." she assured him.
After that Zena turned to the fox and answered her question as well. "ay! we're ready to leave. Anyone heading back to the city hop in the wagon."

Azeruk remained silent for a good long while as he contemplated Zena's offer. He had no reason not to follow her, and if her associate was as good as she said, then perhaps they could find Lavender rather quickly. Going to the city though... it brought feelings of both excitement and apprehension. Never before was he allowed to venture beyond the treeline of the forest, and now he would be plunged into the heart of the country's capitol. He had always wanted to see all there was to see beyond this forest, but his mentor always prevented him from leaving. As if by habit, Azeruk hesitated and looked down at the amulet he was carrying and listened, hopefully receiving an answer.
("Do it. Follow these people as far as you can. They will be very important in what is to come, and you will need them just as much as they will need you.")
Azeruk let go of the amulet and let it rest back under his breastplate before giving a faint nod and slowly rising into the wagon. This was it. He was going to travel farther than he had ever gone before.

Giving the armored man a short smile Zena nodded back and got in the wagon herself. After a few moments in witch anyone who wanted to could join them in the ride back could. the wagon would have taken off again, heading on a non stop path straight to the city of Sanctuary. While they would be moving towards their next location Zena finally asked what she had been planning to for a while now. "So about that necromancer from before. Any idea why she wold attack your home like that?"

Seeing the Wagon begin to go off for the city of Sanctuary, Saru stuck his tongue out at Braum before leaping down into the wagon with a surprising amount of grace this time. After which Saru's face was a smug one, like he pulled a fast one on Braum.
Thankfully the wagon wasn't going too fast yet, as the horses pulling it weren't at full sprint yet. As such Braum looked at this and picked up his big stone shield and began to sprint after the cart before managing to climb in at the last second. As he did he just smiled. After all Braum thought that the nice elf lady was talking to everyone when she said if anyone was heading to the city to hop in, which made Braum really want to go. Braum wanted to go see this city of Sanctuary. He's heard about it a few times before, but he never really had any reason to go there immediately. This time however he feels like he has a reason, as his new monkey friend is going and he would love to spend more time to get to know his new... friend?
Either way when Braum hopped into the cart everyone would feel the cart itself sink a bit as the weight of Braum, and his large stone shield which must weigh roughly around his weight if not a fair bit more. It would make the cart go quite a bit slower with him in it along with everyone, but it wouldn't be a whole lot of extra weight.
After climbing into the back of the cart Saru seemed actually quite displeased and wary as he climbed to the front where Zena was and huddled a bit close, making sure to keep an eye on Braum. Braum then spoke...
"You all do not mind if Braum does the... hitching of the ride to town...? If it is too much trouble then Braum would happily walk as walking is Braum's favorite of exercises!"

Zena said that they were ready to leave and so Zero got on the back end without saying anything right before the wagon took off. As the cart took off, Saru and the big guy with the shield got on as well. "I dont mind." Zero said to Braum as Zero sits to his left side facing outwards.

Now that Azeruk was getting settled into he wagon and a little less on edge, he finally felt it was time to open up and answer Zena's question. Azeruk placed both his hands on either side of his helmet and pulled it off his head, revealing a rather young man, no older than 20, with brown hair and eyes. His days of running through the forest was reflected in the soft tan of his skin. This man that had helped the group in a pinch was but a boy. He wore a somewhat grim expression on his face at the moment, reflecting how troubling this situation still was to Azeruk.
"Well, I guess I must ask first, what do you know of this forest?", Azeruk asked Zena.

Zena seemed just a tad bit overwhelmed at everything that was going on. When Saru came over, she tried scratching behind his ears to calm him down. hopefully it would work. She then quickly looked over to Braum. There's plenty of room for everyone. Try not to wake the injured soldiers" she assured him before returning her attention to Azeruk. "Not a whole lot. Occasionally bandits pop up in these woods thinking they'll be safe, but it's not long til we find them." She said giving her general knowledge of the place. "My job's taking care of problems that occur inside the city. The bounty hunters guild would probably know more about it." she explained as they neared their location

Seeing that most folks were finally relaxing, the yaju fox took her time to examine them, wether by quick looks, scents, or just hearing their breathing and tone of voice. Sure, they were all having bruises here and there, the vulpine nearly losing a limb or two, but they all were relatively ok.
Unconsciously, one of Nera's remaining vials opened, releasing normal water, it coursed through the fur of her chest and neck, until reaching the forehead to float as a sphere. The hydromancer opened her eyes to gaze at the sphere, there were remnants of the whole trip, smudges of dirt, blood, bone dust and other elements that proved the journey from Sanctuary, heading to the chronomancer's tower, the climb to the dragon castle and the fights inside said place.
"The curse and blessing of the journey." the yaju started speaking, not knowing if her voice could be heard by the others. "Wandering through trials, obstacles and different paths." the sphere started freezing, revealing the different elements that clouded the purity of the water. "That is what makes your journey an adventure."
Nera smiled as her paw now held the multicolored sphere.
